The Phoenix Arizona Temple is a temple of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church), in Phoenix, Arizona. It was completed in 2014 and is the LDS Church's 144th temple. The announcement on May 24, 2008 of the planned construction of the temple came a month after the Gila Valley and Gilbert temples were announced for Arizona. The temple is the state’s fifth.
The temple has a single attached central spire with a statue of the angel Moroni. This temple was designed by the architectural firm CCBG Architects. A groundbreaking ceremony, to signify the beginning of construction, was held on June 4, 2011, conducted by Ronald A. Rasband.
